ME: Gather rings from couple before ceremony starts.

Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests, please be seated as we gather together.

Please come down and gather close to the front as so everyone can hear a bit better.

All rise, for the bride. (Bride walks with father)

Who gives the bride away on this day?

DAD : Her mother, father, and I do.

CLARISSA: Hands flowers to mother.

We would like to take a moment of silence to remember those of us who were not able to make here today and those of us that are here in spirit including Clarissa's dad Clayton and all our ancestors looking down upon us today.

MOMENT OF SILENCE

Thank you everyone for gathering together on this beautiful day to join Clarissa and Montana together in life long and beyond happiness.

Once upon a time, (bet none of you thought you would be apart of a real life fairytale today but here you are, congratulations you are all now apart of an elaborate story book.) We are gathered together to join Clarissa Boettger and Montana Lloyd in the beautiful union of marriage. Although their first meeting was an unconventional one, their beginning started with Clarissa ghosting Montana twice within the same month, and through his persistence, Montana used all the persuasion he could to woo the lady. He pleaded and begged for her to give him a chance and of course because Clarissa is a very kind and loving girl, she gives the knight one (and only one) chance to woo her. And, one chance was all it took for Montana to prove his unconventional love is worthy enough to keep her. He became her knight in shining armor (mostly when it comes to the spiders and bees, but, especially bats in this case) and she became the princess he always dreamed of marrying. So thus he asked her to marry him and she obviously said yes. So here we all are, after traveling down a long, circuitous road to bear witness to the beautiful love and life these two wonderful people share and will continue to share for the rest of their lives and beyond.

Montana and Clarissa,

This union is not to be entered into lightly but thoughtfully and with purpose, and with a deep realization of its obstacles and successes. Please remember that love, loyalty, forgiveness and understanding are the foundations of a happy and enduring home.

Whenever you need each other and are not near each other please remember the rings I bestow upon you today are a symbol for the love you share today.

the wedding ring is a perfect circle. There is no beginning and no end. It is a visible sign of an endless love for each other.

Clarissa and Montana will now share a few words of their own that they have prepared for each other.

CLARISSA TO MONTANA : blah, blah, blah

MONTANA TO CLARISSA : blah, blah, blah
